		Binti is most well known for an incident which occurred on August 16, 1996, when a three-year-old boy climbed the wall around her zoo enclosure and fell 20 feet, rendering him unconscious.

		Binti Jua is a Western Lowland Gorilla female in the Brookfield Zoo, in Brookfield, Illinois, outside of Chicago.
		Binti Jua (whose name means "Daughter of Sunshine" in Swahili) is the niece of Koko, the world famous gorilla that knows and communicates using American Sign Language.
		Because Binti had been hand-raised, as opposed to being raised in the wild by other gorillas, she had had to be specially trained to care for an infant and to take her child to personnel for examinations.

	Brookfield Zoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the zoos most well-known current residents is Binti Jua, a female Western lowland gorilla.
		On August 16, 1996, a young boy fell into the gorilla exhibit of Tropic World, and Binti Jua carefully cradled the boy and brought him to her trainers.
		The incident received international attention, inspiring a lively debate as to whether Binti Jua's actions were the result of the training she received from her keepers (who had taught her to bring her own baby, Koola, to zoo curators for inspection) or some instinctive sense of altruism.

	Binti Jua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because Binti had been hand-raised, as opposed to being raised in the wild by other gorillas, she had to be specially trained to care for an infant.
		The strongest argument for the altruistic angle concerns a situation very similar to Binti's, in which a male gorilla named Jambo, of Jersey Zoo, protected a child who had fallen into his enclosure.
		Jambo, however, was not trained to care for children and was raised in captivity by his own gorilla mother.

	Binti Has a Baby; Endangered Gorilla Birth at Brookfield Zoo : ArriveNet Press Releases : Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Binti Jua, a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla, gave birth to a 4- to 5-pound male infant around 7:30 p.m.
		Prior to Binti giving birth to Koola in 1995, zookeepers wanted to ensure that she was as prepared as possible for motherhood.
		Using positive reinforcement, keepers trained Binti to do several useful behaviors, including sitting at the front of her off-exhibit area and presenting her chest as well as allowing a breast pump to be placed on her chest to familiarize her with the sensation of a nursing baby.

		Visitors were in a panic when a 3-year-old boy fell 20 feet into the gorilla pit, but Binti kept her calm -- picking up the child, cradling him with her right arm like she would her own infant and carrying him 60 feet to an access entrance, most likely saving his life.
		What is especially impressive about Binti's actions is that at the time she was 7 years old, one of the youngest gorilla mothers in North America and having problems raising her own newborn female, sometimes tossing the infant about too soon.
		To the right, Binti's daughter, Koola, visits with her own child and pats her mom on the back, while those in the crowd have their own motherly advice.

		Others said that wasn't the complete truth because Binti was raised by humans and had to be taught nurturing skills when she gave birth.

	Books In Review: If a Lion Could Talk
		News reports "told how Binti picked up the unconscious boy, cradled him in her arms, and carried him gently to the door of the apes' enclosure." Witnesses described feeling a "chill" as the ape protected the boy from male cagemates.
		One recalls, too, that she did not merely cradle the boy but stroked him, having by then clearly perceived that the object on her lap was neither gorilla nor doll.
		Budiansky doesn't like primates generally, doubtless because they pose the greatest danger to his conviction that all creatures are but intriguing and affable automatons, objects of scientific or aesthetic appreciation but not of moral duty.

		Binti became a celebrity overnight, figuring in the speeches of leading politicians who held her up as an example of much-needed compassion.
		Binti's action made a deep impression mainly because it benefited a member of our own species, but in my work on the evolution of morality and empathy, I have encountered numerous instances of animals caring for one another.
		These kinds of cases don't reach the newspapers but are consistent with Binti's assistance to the unfortunate boy and the idea that apes have a capacity for sympathy.

		Moments later, one of the gorillas, Binti Jua, with her own 17- month-old infant riding on her back, walked over, gently picked the boy up and carried him to a door where she was accustomed to seeing her keepers.

		Binti was raised by humans and even got maternity training--keepers used a stuffed animal to teach her parenting skills.
